An Electrical Stratagem,

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chill, a stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part of
the Araucanian Indians and maintain the
connection between tire strongholds on
the frontier. There were at the time be-
tween forty and fifty captive Indians in
the CHILEAN camp. Gen. Pinto called
them together, and, pointing to the tele-
graph wires, he said: ''Do you see those
wires?" Eyes, general" every good.
want you to remember not to go near
nor touch them; for if you do your hands
will be held and you will be unable to
get away" The Indians smiled incredu-
lousy.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wires. at both
ends of an electric battery in full opera
ton. After which he exclaimed: II
command yousto let go the wire!" II
can't; my hands are benumbed, y said the
Indian. The battery was then stopped
and the man released. Not long after
ward the general restored them to liberty,
giving them strict injunctions to keep the
secret, and not to betray it to their coun-
trymen on any account. This had the
desired effect, for, as might be expected,
Ethe experiment was related sin the
strictest confidence, to every man of the
tribe, and the telegraph has ever since re-
manned unmolested. Electrical Review.

The Railroads..

Congress will need to do something
to strengthen the Interstate Com
merce law or to strengthen the COM
mission chat has it's execution in
hand. The law itself needs tinkerlng
It was not supposed that a perfect
law could be or at least would be
formed, to start with. The greatest
encouragement that the law gave was
in the fact that Congress had been
driven to do something. The people
had demonstrated that they were be-
ing robbed through practical mon
oply. Rates were runious to farming
and to every shipper who was not in
the ring enjoying rebates and other
blessings of discrimination. The free
pass had become a crying and bur-
densome EVIL to the community.
Thousands were travelling free, and
the public who paid were paying the
fares of themselves and the dead
heads as well. Congress neglected to
even pretend to furnish a remedy for
these wrongs an exasperatingly long
time. But rs the farmers began to
organize Congressman deemed it wis
dom to do something. 1t is to be
supposed that they meant to reduce
rates and put an end to the free pass
system. But they got at the matter
in their chronic laundering way,
which has raised the suspicion in the
minds of some that they were not
honest in what they did, and that the
law was really intended to benefit the
railroads. However that may have
been, IN some respects they turned
out very good law If it could be
properly enforced.
But under the commission the law
has not operated. as the people expect
law to operate. It did not lower
rates, but actually raised them. In
stead of lowering the short haul rates,
the roads raised the long hauls. Now
the people demand the lowering of
rates. Justice sanctions the demand.
Both freight and passenger rates
should and must be reduced. That is
the object to be accomplished, and
Congress must endeayor to muster
sense enough to accomplish it. 1t
should go at the work with directness
and with determination to do it,.
The time has come for little IRON
clad legislation upon this matter.
The roads are cruelty greedy. II they
are given an inch they will take a
mile, and 1t is time that Congress had
realized what sort of an institution it
and the people have to deal with.
The law has accomplished some good,
but the principal part of the good it

The apparatus for heating cars by
steam which will shortly be intro
duced on the passenger trains Oh the
Milwaukee road, has now been
thoroughly tested and found to work
successfully in all kinds Of weather.
The steam Is taken direct from the
boiler of the locomotive through a
regulating valve, and then passes
through safety valve under each
car and is brought up to the top and
edge of the platform, where hose con-
nection and automic couplings are
placed for passing from one car to
another. This direct pipe is properly
covered TO prevent condensation, and
Is tapped by an upright which conf
municates with radiator piping along
inside of the car for the heat

Suggestions to Collegiate Orators.

The perplexity of students in the selec-
ton of theme is frequently shown in a
desire to be original. But if to be original
implies that the writer is to select a
theme that no one has hitherto chosen,
then originality in this sense is scarcely
possible. Again, if in the treatment or
development of the theme it is to be pre-
sented by means of ideas that have not
occurred to others, then, also, originality
in this sense is scarcely possible. Origi-
nality may be attained in the way of
putting a thought, in the selection of
thoughts, and in their arrangements.
Such is one of the meanings of compost
ton. In this view a student may very
properly place the thoughts of others,
whether written or spoken, under contri-
button. 1t is plagiarism when a writer
takes bodily the thought and words of
another and gives them as his own. It is
also plagiarism when a writer, even If he
changes the mode of expression, adopts
the development of subject from an
other and gives this as his own. College

A Strange Phenomenon.

There is a strange phenomenon con-
nected with the Upper Red river. have
several times been stranded by low water
in the Upper Red, say 500 miles below
the source, lying with steamboat for
weeks awaiting rain and rise. Without
any rain in the vicinity of where the boat
was have seen the river come up twenty
feet or more in one night, / figure out
the phenomenon In this way. The sources
of the Red river are in the Liano Estacado
of New Mexico, and the rains falling upon
these great plains pour down into the
head waters of the river, and the water
comes rushing down many hundreds of
miles, where there have been no rains for
weeks, and thus result in the unlocked
for swell in the water.-Globe-De Democrat.

Letters are pouring in upon MEM
bers of the United States senate from
all over the country urging them not
to confirm Lamar's appointment Ito
the supreme bench Such letters
have been sent from Morris and are
very earnest and pointed. Too many
vacancies have already been filled by
ex-rebels and it is thought by all old
soldiers, at least, that the court of
last resort should be kept free from
such contamination. It certainly is
not right to have the great constitu-
tional questions which may ut any
time come before the supreme court
considered and determined by men
who nave alredy indicated and de-
clared themselves ignorant of and
disloyal to the requirements OF the
constitution. When first announced
Larmar's appointment was received
with general apathy, but as time
wears on and as his past record Is re-
membered public sentiment is be-
coming loud against him. He should
not be confirmed.

The January number of Demorest's
Monthly says: 1.-THE cotton industry
in the Southern states is gradually
becoming one of the most important
industries in the country. All over
the South great activity is displayed,
and new mills are continually being
erected. AT Columbus, Georgia, one
company has added 5000 spindles to
its mill. The cost of building some
of the mills has been from 100000 to
$500, 900 and after they have been
erected it has been found necessary,
owing to the large increase in the
work, to extend them. At Galveston,
$1,000,0 has been expended in build
ing mill. ALI this vast expenditure
of capital has been the means of CIV
ing employment to thousands of
people, and the result has been that
the working people of the South have
bettered their condition. All the re-
sources of the Southern states are
rapidly being developed, and if this
activity continues. the New South in
few years will be the great rival OF
the north in the commercial world, I"

Wafer Power in q Mine.

At the Comstock silver mines in Vir-
ginia City mining science has reached its
highest point, according to San Fran
cisco newspaper, which says that there
they carry water down a vertical shaft
to the depth of 1,7O0 feet, and then gear
it back to the surface, running the gigan-
tic mills by the LOO foot pressure.
When the plan was suggested to engi-
neers of Europe they laughed at it; but

a power immeasurably greater and
cheaper than anything hitherto applied in

A EMIL Orchestra Scnre.

Anybody who has ever looked at full
orchestral score must have been inn
pressed with the immense labor involved
in writing it, as well as with the pro-
found knowledge of instruments that is
required for the work. One reason why
modern composers are not so prolific as
those of the last century is due to this
very fact. A hundred years ago the Or
chestras were of a much simpler form
than they are at present. Not nearly so
much attention was devoted to wood
wind instruments. and, besides this, a
great many other instruments have been
added to the full orchestra, and every
modern composer feels bound to utilize
every effect in his score. The music of
today, therefore, is much richer in color
than that of the past, as every concert
goer will appreciate who makes mental
comparison between works of Hadvn or
Mozart and those of Wagner and List.
: In view of the immense amount of
work and the kind of knowledge required
to do it, the impression would be natural
that scoring must be well paid labor,
but the reverse is the case. For the scor-
ing of an ordinary march for full Or
chestra one does not need to pay more
than $40 at the most, and it may be fire.
quently had for S., and the work will be
in every sense satisfactory and complete.
The men who do this kind of work are
usually players in orchestras whose time
is not entirely taken up with rehearsals
and performances, and with pupils that
they may have to instruct. They are
glad of an opportunity to devote their
evenings to odd jobs of scoring and ar
ranging for the orchestra, and the COM
petition among them is SO great that the
price is cut down to such margin that
ordinary composers, who do not strive
after original effects, can better afford to
have this work done by outside parties
than to do it thenaselves.-New York
Sun.

Printed petitions are being circula-
ted in many parts of the country, ad-
dressed to congress for the rejection
of Utah's claim to statehood SO long
as the people of that territory adhere
to the practice of rolygamy as part
of their religion. No doubt the pc
titions will be largely signed. The
effort now being made for the adj
mission of Utah as state is backed
not only by insipcere promises of re-
formation, but by large sums of
money, and it is eminently proper
that public sentiment should be
brought to bear to thwart it.

from the quarrels that have resulted
from it among the roads. Thatis not
what the people want. They want
some certainty in this transportation
business. They want legal lines
drawn over which the roads will not
